Sunrise or Sunset Meditation
Conduct this Sunrise or Sunset Meditation in a natural setting where you are able to witness the sunrise or sunset. Observe the changing colors of the sky, the movements of clouds, and the transitions of light, appreciating the beauty and impermanence of nature.
Whether you are observing the first light of day or the serene colors of dusk, this meditation will help you embrace the present moment and find peace within. If you do not have the opportunity at the moment to observe a sunrise or a sunset, you may participate in the meditation by watching the images on the screen instead.
First find a comfortable place where you can witness the sunrise or sunset, either outdoors or from a window with a clear view.
When you are comfortable, start the video.

Sacred Space Meditation
zhlédnutí 42Před 3 měsíci
Prior to performing this sacred space meditation, you must first have your own sacred space. If you don't already have one, you’ll need to find your own sacred space for the purposes of this activity. This should be a place that is fairly easy to access for you. It should be as free of man-made artifice as possible. This means that it should not be a place with manicured lawns and trimmed hedge...
035 Mindful Communication
zhlédnutí 14Před 8 měsíci
To be mindful is to be present in the moment. To listen mindfully means to be present in the conversation, without assumptions or conclusions, and without trying to anticipate what your partner is going to say, or without ‘reading into’ the conversation (assuming things that weren’t really said). In this episode we cover 12 basic Mindful Listening Skills.
034 Communication
zhlédnutí 26Před 9 měsíci
Many of the difficulties in relationship occur due to miscommunication. By learning to be assertive instead of aggressive, we can learn to communicate well in a mindful fashion. Communicating mindfully means being present in the moment within the conversation, without making assumptions about the meaning or intent behind the other person’s communication.
033 Externalization
zhlédnutí 22Před 10 měsíci
Externalization: Experiencing the Person, not the Problem One way to live a life of compassion is to see the person, not the problem. If we are able to take the viewpoint that the person is separate from the problem, then we are able to experience the person, and not the problem.
032 The Pygmalion Effect
zhlédnutí 39Před 11 měsíci
The Pygmalion Effect states that people have a tendency to become what you believe them to be based on how you treat them. If you expect good behavior from your friends and loved ones, then that is usually what you get. The way to harness the power of the Pygmalion Effect in your life is to always remember to be compassionate with your friends and loved ones. Let them know you love them with ev...
031 True Self Meditation
zhlédnutí 35Před rokem
The humanist psychotherapist Carl Rogers spoke of the ideas of Self-Image and the Ideal Self. This Self-Image, sometimes referred to as the Perceived Self, is the way we perceive ourselves to be right now.

030 Creating a Positive Reality
zhlédnutí 29Před rokem
Creating a Positive Reality is a matter of Focusing on the doughnut, and not the hole. The way to be compassionate every day is to create a positive reality around you. Instead of focusing on the ‘hole’ of what you don’t have, focus on the ‘doughnut’ of what you do have. One way to do this is to create a positive ruminating cycle by identifying a trigger to a negative ruminating cycle and refra...

amazing video wow
Thank you!
Hi, I'm from the UK. I live in Leeds now but I'm from Bolton originally. I'm on the final year of my degree, innovation and skills for social change, and for my research project dissertation I'm conducting a study on connecting with nature and how it can improve your mental health and wellbeing. I only heard of the term "ecotherapy" a couple of weeks ago and I've bought 2 great books on the subject, With Nature in Mind by Andy McGeeney and Ecotherapy, Theory, Research and Practice edited by Martin Jordan & Joe Hinds. I searched the term "ecotherapy" here on CZcams and came across your channel. It was one of the ones that jumped out at me. I just want to thank you for covering this area of therapy as there aren't enough people and organisations that do. I'm looking forward to watching plenty of your videos. 🙏🏻❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great meditation.

👋I survived my suicidal attempt when I was 18. I am so grateful that I didn’t die even though I became paralyzed. By God’s Grace, my mental health is excellent now. If you are depressed, I hope you will not give up, it’s a treatable medical condition. If I can recover, anyone is able to potentially. Sharing my experience here czcams.com/video/xi-on4PmKuE/video.html
Beautiful, thanks for sharing the knowledge
You bet!

Thank you for offering this on CZcams. I am putting myself through some of the theory and technical knowledge on eco-therapy that’s out there. This seems to be a very thorough and interesting course. I am in Franklin Tennessee USA . I am developing forest bathing and mindfulness movement in the big east fork valley.
Great! Glad you liked it!
